My Ten Point curve
Would like to leave a little feed back on my new bow.I have about fifty
shots thru her now and as soon as I can get my wife to download the
pictures to her computer I will post them for you to see.I started shoot-
ing with a Barnett Quad 400 and then went to Parker terminators and
really liked the Parker the best.We will leave the other lay,and when I shot the curve I didnt really know what to expect except what Dave
had told me about.First the noise was a lot less then what I was expect
ing,sure the Sims are the reason for that,second,there wasnt the jar
that I had on other bows,especialy the Barnett and really can settle in
to shoot it,the gun range was a blessing,contolled cllimate,etc.I like the
scope that came with it,shot it out of my ground blind lighted dots are
way easy on these old eyes!Again the workmenship and the quality are
hard to beat.Thefeel and the balance are great am going to look into
the Steady Eddy before turkey season,better then my shooting stick I
built.Drawbacks,myself,for not haveing the foresight to order the accu
draw shoulders are acting up and the rope cocker is almost to much.
I have never really looked forward to shooting like I do since I got the
curve,like the lighter weight and seem to move around in the blind a
lot easier then with the Parker!One thing outdoor shooting in the wind
the four inch vanes moved around a lot,the five inch were not bothered
as much thought it would be the other way around,I should have listened
to Wyvern,do not shoot at the same spot it is a tack driver,ruined two
arrows so far myself one and a fellow at the range,he didnt think it would
shoot that good,he did offer to pay for the arrow!Out of the group therewe have picked up four who are disabled and will be buying xbows!
Sorry this isnt better any questions feel free to e-mail or pm me will get
the pic posted asap,later.Marty[8D]

RE: My Ten Point curve
Glad you are liking it Yote and keep us updated. Have you ever shot a Excal much? Was just curious on how you think the downward pressure of the string is on the curve compared to the Excal's. I have heard some say Tenpoints have alot less pressure on the string rail area. Glad you are happy and keep us informed.

RE: My Ten Point curve
The string on the ones I have seen have actually not touched the rail, so there is quite a bit of reduction of down force 
The "package" is a quiver, 3 aluminum arrows, and a red dot scope standard (then you can add the Accudraw 50 or Accudraw). If you want a scope instead of the red dot then it has to be swapped out...it is not available as a standard option

RE: My Ten Point curve
I was just over on Tenpoint's site. I was considering a phoenix as an every day shooter, but this bow really intrigues me. I would have to swap for a scope since WY doesn't allow hunting with scopes that are artificially lit (i.e. red dots and luminated reticles).

RE: My Ten Point curve
I donno, a Ten Point? A recurve? Hmmmmm donno.......
Well coyote, what IS important is that you are happy! I certainly like my xbows....can't wait till I get my Relayer or S. Maybe, who knows, ya never know!
Recurves are nice aren't they?
